The scene principally Iies FABLE its' Morocco, and the Fable Chiefly relates to till loves of Selim and Zelma ; the former is the Heir Apparent tto•the Throne of Moroccp, and the lat ter a native of Cyprus, for whom the Prince had entertained en early atfeetion. Atter some common incidents; Zclma suf fers shipwreck, and is , save,l and, protected by the Sicilian Officer, who lands her safely in Cyprus. Zelma is after. wards captured by Abdulah, who, with his crew of pirates, makesa descent on Cyprus, and runs away with Zelma. On her a ppearance at Morocco, she is soon discovered, and com mences her reign over the heart of Selim. At first he is tearful of irritating his Father Muley Ismael, the then Emperor of Morocco ; but he suddenly dying, Selim, who is actuated by humanity and honour, openly espouses Zelme, who becomes the partner of his throne. Antither part of the story consists of the Und er P l e t, or l oves o f R ooney, an Irish slave, and • Mammora, a Portuguese Captive, both the property of hradab (the few of Mogadore), eminently conspicuous for the finer virtues,' and whose Immense wealth is :applied by _him ter the relief of the distressed and forlop) Sensible of the honour and integrity of Rooney, his slave, the Jew annontices his intehtion of setting him not only tree, but of making itim.his agent .or laaor in England. Although Rooney is rejoiced at this happy change, yet he assures his kind Master, that he cannot leave Attica unless he consehts to release his Sweetheart Nl.iinnt , i'a also. The tender-hearted Jew srdtties wiahos, when they are suddenly interrupted an their departure by news of the death of Muley, the Old Emperor, and an alarmina' rebellion among the troops. It is then that the kw ii.is opportunities of professing his semi.. meats of resped and loyalty to the Young Prince, offering, if wanted, the use of all his vast wealth, even to the very last farthing. The courage and capacity of Selim..however,'soon surmount every difficulty, the rebellion is extinguished, and all the parties arc made happy. As this Opera is the produaion of Mr. CUMBER LAND, to whom the public are under many obliga tions for works that have " taught the Passions to move at the command of virtue," and has in no small degree contributed to itnprove the moral ten dency of the drama, it would shew a narrow and illiberal spirit if we were to try the present compo sition by the rigid laws of criticism. It is certainly Dot entitled td rank with his best works, but as he has written more dramatic prodtkclions t han any other living author, it is not. to be expected that his'inental resnonces should betas fertile and vigorous as ever.' It is sufficient that on the present Occasion he has produced a work that is amusing, if it• does not excite any powerful interest.—The Fable has nothing. very no vel, bat it has nothing very improbable, and as the sentiments are generous and impressive, bud the dia lope neat, chaste, and sometimes elegant.; as the piece is supported by some very good scenery and some very pleasing music, the public will doubtless thew their respo& for the veteran Dramatist, to Whom 'they have Often been indebted, by patronizing this effort of his muse. One of the main objetls of this work is to place in an amiable point of view 'a- people who have long been persecuted in every nation ; but who, if we . may judge from many individuals who have raised themselves into opulence, and have distinguished t hemselves by benevolence, have so much improved •nr.iral charaaer as to deserve a more favourable estimation in the eyes of mankind, The Jew of •illagadore Is another Shun, and his wealth is ex pended with se much gencrosiv that we must ad mire rather than condemn the parsimony:by which Tawas acquired; The music is wholly the• work of KELLY ; it is of a pleasing and popul ar cast, and was very much applauded, • le a 6l i 7 ng was uniformly good.

RAYMOND was very energetic., Jousisrrotax, in an Irish part, displayed ell his usual spirit. iiituArd sung delightfully, and so did Mrs. Muutimitq, SMITU exerted his fine voice with good'elt'eEt. The Piece was tolerably well received through its Progress, by 4 eery numerous audience, but when announced Ibr this evening had several dissentient voices, which, however, were manitestly against the sentiments of a considerable majority. Covent-Garden. The fine old Play of Bonduca, originally written by BEAUMONT and FLETCHER, and altered by the elder 'COLMAN, - was last night revived for the bene fit of COOKS. He performed the part of Caratach,. which is very well suited to his powers, with as Ouch spirit as a very severe cold and hoarsenesi would admit. This Drama contains such impres sive and patriotic sentiments, that it could not have ben revived at a more suitable period than the pre- Lent ; and, to the honour of the Proprietors of the Theatre, they have brought it forward i n sa manner very cmtulated to give effeet to its inherent Tile Sethcry is pauresque and striking, and the musi c i s of grand and appropriate, and w or thy its author *Mr. SHIELD. The °Play too hi well cast, and if th e P u b lic are animated by 00l taste as yvell as by the p a t r i ot i c feelings which become Britons it will be very popular. and attra6tive. . Cr ab , the new four-tooted Performer of Covent garden Theatre, who made his first appearance in The Two Gentlemen of Verona , displays all the mo dest terrors of a yining adventurer, and is by - no means so well calculated for the theatrical profession u s hi's great predecessor Carlo. r, - lOwever,, as Mom 1 1)4 Ns vohO is a second Dogget,'-is his tutor, he may, r1 ' 4 1) 1 1, improve by practice, and eclipSe many of “ I s 0 4)0 rival s in the graces of dumb-sh&v. ricalnf hal true, as menti one d i n one o f t h e Ameri- Jit ha entitled The lialtimbre North .dmeri can' that dispatches from General MOREAU have been intercepted; it is probable that MoREAU wishes to ;;et back to France, and endeavours to make his Peace by treachery against, the country which has Protected him in his exile..

The high reputation bf this oCietk;:and the inte'- '.rest and amusement which characterise its Anniyer . sary Meeting, naturally attratied a very numerous companyyesterday to Free-Masons' Hall,' where ati • excellent dinner was provided, and where order and good-htimour uniformly preiailed. The'Earl ot• CLUCEIESTEIt Was in the Chair; Lord Mouis-r -srottats- Lorcl..VaLerscis, and a considerable nunm her distinguished Persons attended. After Non nobis Dolnine had been sung, and " The King"— " The Queen and Royal Family "—'-*" The Prince of Wales," and other loyal Toasts had been given, the Noble President requested Mr. FITZGERALD to favour the cotuliany with a recitation. of the Verses which he had prepared in honour of the occasion.— Mr. FITZGERALD immediately assented; and deli vered, in a very impressive manner, Some excellent lines,' ''He was received with very great applause, and his' health was given with the warmest testimo nies bf general, respect. Mr. PYR, the Urea, had also prepared some admirable lines, which were to have been •reeited by Mr. GRAHAM, the Magis, trate ' • but that Gentleman b e i ng un f ortunate l y pre .Vented by, illness from attending the Meeting; no other person was disposed to venture on the task. The third recitation was a Poem written by a Gen tletnao of well known merit in literary annals, but who had never exercised his Muse on a similar oc casion before, • This Poem was very ably delivered by Mr. BROWNE, a Gentleman whose merits as . an ' at-for are not 'unknown to the Public, and who is well entitled to a station on the London Boards. We shall subjoin this Poem, assured that its intrinsic merits will not be lass gratifying to our Readers than it was to the company, by whom it was warm ly admired and applauded. The bust of the venerasle Mr. NP.WTON, a cond.. teral descendant froth the great philosopher, was in trodtmed, and excited a peculiar interest, as the Gentleman whom it represented left a very liberal legacy, amounting to several thousand pounds, in favour of the libtitution. The; 'bust is admirably' executed, and is the work of WEsTta.tcort. A' statement was made respecting the finances of the Society - , which have been improved by many recent contributions,, and which we are happy to find are in a very flourishing condition. It would be improper to omit noticing one toast, which was in honour of the Founder of this excel lent Institution,- Mr. DAVID WILLIAMS. His health was given with four times three, in which the com pany, cordially j o i ne d. • The Noble Chairm an ' s health had been previously given,-and he expressed his thanks in a very neat and elogant speech. - VERSES, . , WRITTEN BY CHARLES SYMIWONS, D.

CON.—The wile of a Confectioner, in Mary-le-bone, eloped from her liustkind a few days since, and was afterwards traced to the arms of a butler to a Gentleman of fortune in Baker -street, North. - The Lady, who is said to be a Very 'mini 'vating woman, had apartments in the house of an upper servant in the same filthily, but in Conse 7 quenceof too Much attention having been paid her by the butler, the husband, consulting the saf el y o f his wife, removed, to avoid his otficlous visits. This step, however, did not succeed, for one day last :week the wife left her horne; with a young child, as she informed' her husband, to pay.a visit to her mother, a very, respectable woman at Rich- Mond. Not returning that night, the husband went in search of her the following day, and had the mortification to find that his wife had left her child with her mother and fled.% After a long and tedious' search, she was traced to an apartment in John-street, , Fitzroy-square. At a late hour at night, her husband, accompanied by an officer, ob tained admittance e the house,• and on forcing the door of a bed-room, the wife presented herself in the arms of' her paramour. The rage of the hus band w • as,suppressed by *he officer, and he departed, having placed his wife in tiroper hands, and' steps have been taken for legal - redress.
